1. A system for communicating data over one or more networks, comprising:
a plurality of network node devices in continuous communication with each other and constituting a mesh network;
wherein each of the plurality of network node devices is operable to continuously communicate with other network node devices using chirp spread spectrum-based communication;
wherein the mesh network receives at least one data package from an external network;
wherein the at least one data package is automatically split into a plurality of portions, wherein each of the plurality of portions is transmitted to a separate network node device within the mesh network;
wherein at least one of the plurality of network node devices in the mesh network reconstructs the at least one data package after receiving the plurality of portions from other network devices within the mesh network;
wherein one of the plurality of network node devices is operable to transmit only at least one set of metadata derived from the at least one data package when a signal strength with the external network is weaker than a preset threshold;
wherein the one of the plurality of network node devices, after transmitting the at least one set of metadata, is operable to automatically transmit the at least one data package when the signal strength with the external network becomes stronger than the preset threshold;
wherein more than one of the plurality of network node devices stores a local queue of all messages intended to be transmitted; and
wherein the at least one set of metadata includes a geolocation of the one of the plurality of network node devices that transmitted the at least one data package, a device identifier for the one of the plurality of network node devices that transmitted the at least one data package, a time when the at least one data package was transmitted, a geolocation where the at least one data package was first generated, a device identifier for a device that first generated the at least one data package, and/or a time when the at least one data package was first generated.
